I think they are pretty much out of the A.a's.A lot of local people have been PMing me for directions to go pick them up.That's why they're out of the bicolor:D

I'm deeply considering the O.innesi.The gracilis are overpriced IMO.Anyone have any info on the O.innesi?

O. inessi are kept kind of similar to Andros. You should keep them dry, with a small bowl of water. Heat is essential, I keep mine close to the infrared heat bulb, along with the rest of my desert species. As for choosing a few species from from the price list, I'd roll with B. jacksoni, O. inessi, V. spinigerus. I agree with you on the price of the C. gracilis, $30 is too high for them.

I personally wouldn't purchase from LLLreptile, but since you have no choice with store credit, I would go for Babycurus jacksoni.

I would say gracilis, but for $24.99? I think they forgot to change that price from April fools.

You can get them all day long for half of that, and healthier too. I've known a lot of people with bad experiences from LLLreptile.

The death stalkers are reasonably priced, as the jacksoni are too, but I would go for jacksoni as they're a fun species to watch when feeding.

What do have against LLL?I've never had a bad experience with them.In 6 months I'll be working for them.The manager has been nothing but good to me,and always hooks me up.I know the names of everyone that works there.

Out of that list I would chose either L. quinquestriatus or B. jacksoni you can't go wrong with either.

I went today,and didn't pick anything up.They sold every last andro.The only jacksoni they had was a male,and the death stalkers aren't an option.I will go back in a few days.I'm gonna get either an O.innesi(if they have 1 of the 2 left.They were definitely a 1.1 with the female being gravid),or a pair of the Buthacus.They are really cool scorps.Thanks for the oppinions!

Well the two dealings I've had with them both animals were unhealthy. I also had friends that ran into the same issue with snakes.

All the dealings were with snakes, the two I had purchased were from a expo they were at, and my friends that had ordered from them were purchased and shipped to them. I don't know about the scorpions from them, and like I said this was with snakes and 2+ years ago. Maybe new management and all since then but once I write off a company it stays that way in my book.
